The Clemson Tigers and Alabama A&M Bulldogs will meet on Friday evening in a regular season contest at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina.

Clemson Tigers Betting Preview

The Clemson Tigers enter Friday’s contest with a 6–1 record, showing consistency and balance across their roster in 2025. Clemson’s revamped lineup features a mix of veteran leadership and transfer talent. The Tigers have posted wins over Georgia, West Virginia, and North Alabama. In the Clemson Tigers thrilling 97-94 win over the Georgia Bulldogs four days ago, senior guard Dillon Hunter contributed 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.

Clemson is averaging 84.3 points per game on 46.1 percent shooting from the field. On the defensive side of the basketball, the Tigers are allowing opponents 69.4 points per contest (29th in the nation) and 38.3 percent shooting from the field which ranks 28th in the country.

Junior forward Carter Welling is averaging 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Senior forward RJ Godfrey is averaging 11.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest. Senior Nick Davidson has also been a presence on the inside. Davidson is averaging 7.9 points and 5 rebounds a game.    

The Tigers strength lies in their frontcourt dominance and rebounding, with Godfrey and Davidson anchoring the paint. Their guard rotation, led by Hunter, adds tempo and perimeter shooting, making Clemson one of the more balanced teams in the ACC.

Alabama A&M Betting Preview

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs enter at 3–1 overall, with wins over Lindenwood, Charleston Southern, and Blue Mountain. The Bulldogs single loss was to a much stronger Indiana Hoosiers. The loss to the Hoosiers highlights the Bulldogs struggles against elite competition.

Alabama A&M is averaging 64.3 points per game on 39.2 percent shooting from the field. Defensively, The Bulldogs are allowing opponents 75.7 points on 49.7 percent shooting from the field. Senior guard Kintavious Dozier has been the Alabama A&M Bulldogs best player in 2025. Dozier is averaging 14 points, 3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Senior guard Sami Pissis is averaging 10.3 points and 4.5 assists per contest. Junior guard Koron Davis is averaging 7.8 points, 6 rebounds and 1.3 steals a game.

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs path to competitiveness lies in slowing tempo and leaning on guard play, particularly Pissis’s ability to distribute and Dozier’s scoring. However, their lack of size and rebounding against Clemson’s frontcourt is a glaring concern.

Why Clemson Will Win

•            Frontcourt dominance. RJ Godfrey, Nick Davidson, and Jake Wahlin give Clemson a clear rebounding edge.

•            Balanced scoring. Multiple starters and bench players are averaging over 10 points per game.

•            Defensive efficiency. In the seven games that the Clemson Tigers have played this season, the Tigers are allowing opponents just 69.4 points per contest.

Why Alabama A&M will win

•            Guard play. Kintavious Dozier and Sami Pissis need to create offense to keep the Bulldogs competitive in this game.

•            Tempo control. Slowing the game down is their best chance to limit Clemson’s transition scoring.

Clemson vs. Alabama Prediction

Clemson’s depth, size, and overall talent level should prove too much for Alabama A&M. The Tigers balanced scoring and rebounding edge tilt the matchup heavily in their favor, while the Bulldogs lack of depth and struggles against Indiana suggest they’ll have difficulty keeping pace. Expect Clemson to control the glass, push tempo, and wear down Alabama A&M’s rotation.

Alabama A&M may find a way to keep this game competitive early, but I just don’t see a way that the Bulldogs can compete for 40 minutes. I am backing the Clemson Tigers to cover the 28.5 points in this game.

Hans Geevers's Pick: Clemson Tigers -28.5
